Coaxed out of retirement for a last time, one time performance, Ratty Kat, live on stage at the Oomph Theatre, with his adaptation of an old favourite. Ratty's career began back in the late 20th century with the production of cartoon books for tots. The last of that series was Ratty Kat and the Robber Rabbit. After that, he moved into more slightly mature projects, appearing in parodies of both James Bond and Indiana Jones. Finally, after his legendary successes in books, Ratty returned to his original roots on the Broadway stage, appearing in several performances of classic plays, at last retiring to his cat box to relax and reminisce. Our intrepid user managed to track him down and convince him that the world would love to see Ratty Kat on stage once more. So now, I present to you, live on stage - RATTY KAT - PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ Video property of German TV show "ZDF Silvester-Tanzparty" at the New Years Eve TV Show in 1983.
